Videoconference device for e.g. TV, has light source illuminating eyes of local user viewing screen during communication with remote user, such that image sensor captures local user's image with reflection of light source on eyes

摘要

The device (1) has a screen (4) e.g. TV set screen, for restoring an image of a remote user (6) to a local user (5), and an image sensor e.g. camera (3), for capturing an image of the local user to an attention of the remote user. A light source (2) illuminates eyes of the local user viewing the screen during communication with the remote user, such that the image sensor captures the local user's image with a reflection of the light source on each eye of the local user, including a pupil. An independent claim is also included for a method for videoconference between a local user and a remote user.
